There are 5 lands of Equestria, each ruled by Alicorns. These lands are known as "The 5 lands of Harmony."


The first being Princess Celestia, who rules Equestria.

The second Alicorn was the ruler of the Crystal Empire, Princess MI Amore Candenza.

The third is the ruler of stallionation, a land that was far from Equestria, Princess Electra. Who had green sage colored fur, and a long emrald green mane that covered up the left side of her face. The land's population consisted of ponies, bears, bunnies, and even a small amount of dragons. It's locations consisted of tall trees, and buildings that were builded from the wood from trees, and vines.

The Fourth is a male Alicorn who is the ruler of the Gellian nation. His name is Gladian. His fur is pure white, and he has a spiky mane, that was red and had yellow and orange stripes. His clothing/armor consisted the colors red, yellow, and even gold. The structures are made out of gold, metal, and diamond. 

The Fifth is the ruler of the Glarcier nation. Her name is Persia. She is an alicorn, who has a long light blue mane that resembles that of the winter season, which stretched all the way down to her hooves. Her armor was gray and white, which was made out of metal. Glacier land's population was full of ponies and reindeer, and was filled with ice that seemed to be in almost every house built there. It is often cold in this land. However, with the Alicorns magic to properly keep such cold conditions at bay. Making it completely habitable for ponies.





All together, the five lands united and formed the Alicorn Five. However, after Luna's banishment to the moon. Celestia left the group of Alicorns. Cutting off ties with the Glacier, Gellian, Stallionation, and the Crystal Empire. 

However, even with their departure, For years, The land of Equestria has been at peace. With their ruler; Princess Celestia ruling over the land for thousands of years, watching over her royal subjects. Since the land has been at peace for so long, the ponies have never worried about any invaders, as they thought that they were completely safe from any dangerous creatures outside of Equestria. 





Magic is a very important and essential aspect for the ponies of Equestria. The world itself wouldn't be able to function without it. While it may be a blessing for some; for others like Twilight it's nothing more than a curse.

Twilight Sparkle is a Unicorn who was borned in the Crystal Empire, and moved to Cantelot when she was just a filly. She'd often spend her time studying magic spells and reading books. Due to her interest in magic, her parents decided to send her to Celestia's magic school.

After doing so, it was obvious to the teachers, and Princess Celestia herself, that Twilight was very skilled in magic spells. She'd cast spells that even the average mare couldn't. She was very advanced at magic for a Unicorn her age. Although it was apparent that she was great at magic, she was also smart and well-educated. She knew almost everything about the history of Equestria as well as mathematics and other subjects. 

She was an absolute prodigy, who was always the best at anything she did. Whether it be magic or academic related, she'd always excel ahead of her classmates. Some might go as far to call her a genius. Twilight loved the attention she was getting from Celestia and the teachers, and hoped that after graduation. Celestia would take her in as her student.


The Gradution Test


To graduate from magic school. A Unicorn must be able to perform the rewind spell on an rotten apple to revert it back to it's original form. First it was Trixie, who's dad was one of the four inspectors. Trixie tried her best. Even gritted her teeth hard as an act of desperation. However, in the end she was not able to perform the spell. Thus leaving her father disappointed, and not graduating.

The second was Moondancer; who's magical and academic skilled rivaled those of Twilight Sparkle. She was able to perform the spell with ease and graduated.

And then cane Twilight Sparkle. She walked confidently onto the stage with a bright smile on her face. Her parents stood oddly by the stage giving a huge smile to their precious little mare.

Twilight gathered the amount of magic needed to reverse the apple. However, something horrible happened.

After she put the magic into her horn, the magic soon began to go out of control. A bright purple aura radiated from her body. Her eyes rolled back and her body began to levitate. Twilight was conscious while all of this was happening, but she wasn't able to do anything. It was like somepony or some greater magical force took over her body and wouldn't let it go. The magic was powerful, that blood began to spew out of Twilight's horn. Twilight let out a horrifying shriek of terror, and shortly after; the outrage stopped, and she fell to the ground desperately trying to catch her breath. 

Twilight then looked around at the room. It was empty, it was like everypony in the room suddenly disappeared. Twilight wasn't sure what was going on, but when she saw the lifeless bones of one of the inspectors who was sitting in the chair, and the pool of blood of where her parents were once standing. The heart sinking reality kicked in, and her heart sank to her stomach.

The outrage had caused the rewind spell to grow out of control, causing not only the apple to rewind, but the ponies in the room as well. While most of them had been completely reversed. The one inspector who was Trixie's dad was lucky enough to have nothing but his lifeless skeleton remain.

Celestia then came bursting into room, and was shocked at the horrific scene.

"I... didn't mean to..." Twilight said, quivering in fear.

After the incident, the school was shut down completely. And as for Twilight, she left Canterlot after she ran out of the building, and went into a forest, that was far away from Canterlot. She was never seen again after this incident.
